Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scot Abroad In reality, it spoils the interest and significance of the alliance to attempt to trace it further back than those political conditions which, four hundred years later, gave it efficient purpose. These were the war of independence against the dominion of England, and the contemporary claims of the English kings on the succession to the throne of France. These concurring sources of contest rendered the League the most natural thing in the world. It enabled the kings of the house of Valois to fight their battle on British ground without sending an army there; it provided to the Scots, whenever they could safely leave their homes, an opportunity for striking a blow at the enemy and oppressor of their land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scots in Germany: Being a Contribution Towards the History of the Scot Abroad When I several years ago commenced to write this book, voices were not wanting advising me to abandon the idea, chiefly on account of the vast area from which the material had to be gathered and the almost total want of preparatory inquiry into this particular branch of Scottish History. When I nevertheless persevered in my task, though experiencing to the full the truth of those Cassandra voices, it was owing not only to an interest which warmed with the increasing difficulties, but to the very kind and active help that friends of historical research both in Scotland and in Germany have afforded me in supplying copies of records or other sources of information, or in reading proofs, or in acting as guides through the labyrinths of their libraries. It would be too long to mention their names; my thanks are due to them all, in particular to the librarians and keepers of records in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, St Andrews, Fort Augustus, Dundee, and in half a hundred places in Sweden, Germany and Austria.

Download or read book Scottish Life and Character in Anecdote and Story Classic Reprint written by William Harvey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Life and Character in Anecdote and Story Scotland is proverbial -for its wit and humour, and the writer who seeks to illustrate Scottish character with stories drawn from the everyday life of the people is not likely to lament a lack of apposite material. Since Dean Ramsay issued his evergreen and unexcelled Remini scences many volumes on the subject have been published, but these, for the most part, are indiscriminate collections of jokes which, while they bear witness to the truth that Scotland is a land of humour, do little or nothing to illustrate native character. The present writer aims at supplementing the work of the genial Dean of Edinburgh rather than at following the col lectors of concocted witticisms. His endeavour is to illustrate the main features of our Scottish life, and he gives the anecdotes exactly as he found them - without comment or observation - leaving them to speak for themselves. The shrewdness, the wit, and the humour of the nation are treated in the volume which, the author hopes, will form a not-altogether valueless contribution to the literature of anecdote and story that pertains to the Land 0' Cakes, and will afford pleasure as well to the Scot at home as to the Scot abroad.

Download or read book Scotland s Mark on America Classic Reprint written by George Fraser Black and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scotland's Mark on America It has been said that the Scot is never so much at home as when he is abroad. Under this half-jesting reference to one of the character istics of our race, there abides a sober truth, namely, that the Scots man carries with him from his parent home into the world without no half-hearted acceptance of the duties required of him in the land of his adoption. He is usually a public - spirited citizen, a useful member of society, wherever you find him. But that does not lessen the warmth of his attachment to the place of his birth, or the land of his forbears. Be his connection with Scotland near or remote, there is enshrined in the inner sanctuary of his heart, memories, sentiments, yearnings, that are the heritage of generations with whom love of their country was a dominant passion, and pride in the deeds that her children have done an incentive to effort and an antidote against all that was base or ignoble. It is a fact that goes to the core of the secular struggle for human freedom that whole-hearted Americanism finds no jarring note in the sentiment of the Scot, be that sentiment ever so intense. In the sedulous cultivation of the Scottish spirit there is nothing alien, and, still more emphatically, nothing harmful, to the institutions under which we live. The things that nourish the one, engender attachment and loyalty to the other. So, as we cherish the memories of the Moth erland, keep in touch with the simple annals of our Childhood's home, or the home of our kin, bask in the fireside glow of its homely humor, or dwell in imagination amid the haunts of old romance, we are the better Americans for the Scottish heritage from which heart and mind alike derive inspiration and delight.
